The most personalized, communicative, and thoughtful officiant!
Ann officiated our wedding this October and it was absolutely perfect. The several weeks and months leading up to our wedding she was extremely communicative and let us review what she would be saying well in advance, which we appreciated because it was so personalized, thoughtful, and proactive as we were so busy the week leading up to the wedding. She walked the bridal party and us thoroughly during the rehearsal, and even spoke to us beforehand about what we wanted her to wear, which I thought was a nice gesture. During the ceremony, she made all of our loved ones laugh and cry and kept them engaged throughout, and we received so many compliments from our bridal party and guests about how engaging, kind, and great speaker Ann was. We highly recommend Ann (and already have to our friends and family)!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Liz,
Your review means so much to me. It makes me feel truly appreciated along with your gift . You and Mark were an absolute joy to work with! I loved the saxophone duet - first time I ever had a couple play music together! I could tell how much you are loved by your friends and family by the way they listened and responded to the love story . I was happy to portray your feelings from the beginning of your relationship leading up to the wedding. It was so well received . Couples like you make my role a true pleasure. -

Great Intimate Elopement Ceremony.
Ann braved the coldest night of the year for our outdoor elopement ceremony at 7:00pm and delivered a fantastic, love-based (i.e. secular) ceremony. She worked with us before and after to get us all the information we needed and help us stay informed. She also discussed contingency plans up-front, which is nice to hear when planning a ceremony in a pandemic. Very satisfied. Highly recommend.Ann McKenzie's reply:
Josh,
It was my honor to officiate your and Nancy's wedding. I was so impressed with her braving the 30-degree weather in a beautiful short-sleeved dress. The lights at the Meadows Wooded Chapel were truly magical for the wedding. -

The Perfect Ceremony
Ann officiated our wedding in April 2023. We could not be happier with all of her contributions to our ceremony. She not only has the outward attributes you want in an officiant: energy, humor, professionalism, but she also possesses a steady calmness and confidence that is at the same time understated and yet absolute. In the moment you feel the warmth and joy she creates in her ceremonies but afterwards I sit here appreciating that fact that all of that was possible because she creates a foundation of ease that lets all of that joy and happiness shine through. And it is so natural you don't even notice it while it happens. But her contributions are not limited to the day, Ann genuinely put in the effort to get to know about us as a couple in the months before the wedding and also helped guide us through steps we needed to take along the way. I wholeheartedly feel that this effort is what creates the sense of ease and joy that she exudes and it is infectious. We could not recommend her enough!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Adam,
I am humbled by your wonderful review. My goal is for your ceremony to be a heartfelt experience for you and your guests. I love that you felt ease and joy at the ceremony. Being present at the moment allows you to relive the wedding over and over again. It was my sincere wish that you truly enjoy the ceremony. Reviews like this make my profession so rewarding. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. -

Personalized and special!
Ann was such a pleasure to work with! She listened and made the process so easy, she made the ceremony special and we couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out! Thank you Ann!!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Lauren,
You and Brock were suns an easy couple to work with, I appreciate that. Brysen did a fabulous job as the ring bearer. "What you love about each other " was very touching. Your wedding dress, the flowers, and the moss green bridesmaids' dresses were stunning. Thank you for asking me to officiate your lovely wedding. -

10/10 Recommend to everybody
Ann was such a pleasure to work with and helped our wedding day exceed our expectations. We were too shy to write our own vows but wanted something unique to us, she personalized our ceremony by writing "our love story". It was so fun and unique to us. She also recommended a unity ceremony with a tree in which we watered and will plant in our yard. Additionally, it was important to us to find an officiant who recognizes all forms of love and marriage. We couldn't of asked for a better officiant. We all said several times it felt like we've known each other for years!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Bailey,
It was my honor to officiate your and Josh's wedding. You were absolutely stunning in your wedding dress. I think the Love Story was a great way to show your guests how you feel about each other. Thank you so much for asking me to be part of your special day. -

Professional Officiant with warm & accepting heart, unique ceremony options.
Our experience with Ann was amazing. From the moment we met her we felt her enthusiasm & passion. We were drawn to her option of a personalized ceremony that tells our love story. We opted for no religion in our wedding and between our love story and her script there was lots of love. She has the ability to make any day special regardless of beliefs or background. She is seasoned and professional, making everyone involved in our wedding comfortable and kept things on track, providing lots of helpful tips. She was very easy to communicate with to create a unique ceremony. The ceremony was my favorite part of our wedding and Ann helped elevate that moment.Ann McKenzie's reply:
Kenna,
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and Chris. It was a heartfelt ceremony , I am so happy it was what you wanted . It was my honor to create this special ceremony . -

Excellent and custom service
Reverend Ann was a phenomenal officiant for our wedding. Right from the start, Ann was a pleasure to work with as we were preparing for our wedding. She really took the time to bring our love story together and to engage the attendees in a meaningful way. She was patient, kind, and took the time to help guide us through the process. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a custom wedding ceremony.Ann McKenzie's reply:
Jason,
I was happy that I could help with the planning as well as creating your love story ceremony . Your friends and family showed you a lot of love . Thank you for asking me to be part of your special day . -

Amazing experience
Ann was phenomenal! Her ceremony was so unique and so fun to participate in and experience. She included a "love story" section during the ceremony that added a lot of character to the entire experience. Really the perfect ceremony for my wife and me. -

Ann was so kind, accepting, supportive, funny, and wonderful. Her "love story" was the hit of our wedding, she added our personal story and helped all of our guests know our special story. Ann was easy to reach, easy to talk to, flexible, and just a wonderful part of our day. Highly recommend!!Ann McKenzie's reply:

Anne Was outstanding and had plenty of advice for us when coming up with ideas about the ceremony. She was great at changing things on the fly and was very informational with what to do after the wedding with name changes and marriage license. Very much recommend!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Bishop,
It was my pleasure to work with you and Carson, you kept me on my toes. The guests really seemed to enjoy your love story, catching a glimpse into your hearts. Thank you so much for asking me to be part of your special day. -

A Beautiful Ceremony by Ann
Ann McKenzie recently married my wife and I. She was very kind and took the time to speak with us about our story and what we wanted in our ceremony. She was always available when we needed to chat and brought up a lot of things we wouldn't have thought of to help us and our guests prepare for the ceremony.
The ceremony itself was very well written and really felt like it matched us as a couple. We had an amazing day and are very thankful to Ann for helping us accomplish that.Ann McKenzie's reply:
Tricia,
Your wedding was wonderful surrounded by your family. I loved the outfits and white stoles you and Wendy wore. You were a beautiful couple. The look of joy on your faces was evident to everyone as you said your vows. Thank you for asking me to officiate. -

Great experience and ceremony!!
She is punctual, thorough and is very sweet(but stern when she needs to get stuff done a good balance!) she even went the extra mile to match our wedding colors. She allows you to personalize what she says and will master it before the ceremony so it’s a win win 10/10 would recommend!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Edwin,
You and Julianna were a joy to work with. I could see the love all of your friends and family felt towards you at the wedding. I enjoyed writing your love story and sharing it with the guests. They were truly listening as you could tell by their laughter. Thanks you for asking me to officiate. -

Secular Elopement
We are so fortunate we found Ann for our elopement. We were new to the area, and she was so helpful in recommending a photographer and location, both of which were great. She conducted our secular ceremony beautifully, and was really wonderful to work with.Ann McKenzie's reply:
Hailey,
Your elopement was a real treat ! Loved your fun attitude and gifts, thank you . I knew you would love Three Regions Photography and Lake Crabtree gazebo! Thank you for including me on your special day. -

You and Sarah had a very sweet last-minute wedding. She was gorgeous in her wedding dress with the bouquet her sister made. I know your family and friends were very happy to be there. I am glad I could help you have a special wedding surrounded by nature. -

Amazing and Personalized
We had a great time with Ann doing our ceremony. For us it was a renewal of our vows, which meant the world to us since we were unable to hold a ceremony during the height of Covid in 2020. She personalized it and gave us a preview to make sure that this was what we wanted. It helped our nerves a lot to know more about our ceremony. Thank you Ann!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Allie,
You and Corey were an easy couple to work with. I was happy to hear the preview helped calm your nerves. Your venue choice was great also. Thank you for asking me . -

Personable and personalized :)
Ann was great. We saw her officiate a friend's wedding and decided to choose her to do our own. She was very flexible and open-minded to our ideas. We wanted a non-religious ceremony with a non-traditional unity part and she met all of our needs with enthusiasm. She shared the text with us well enough in advance so we could review and approve or make any changes, and she was very accommodating. At the rehearsal she was friendly and excited, and brought a fun energy to the ceremony. I highly suggest her!Ann McKenzie's reply:
I loved the Unity Ceremony of pouring two types of birdseed into the bird feeder. The spiral birdseed feeder worked well to show both types of birdseed. Your dress and wedding sword was perfect. -

Ann's Amazing!
Ann was amazing to work with. She spent time getting to know Martinique and I every time we met with her. Kept us updated and on schedule throughout the weeks prior and put us at ease of stress on our wedding day. She did a phenomenal job telling our love story as part of our ceremony, got some tears and laughs out of the guests. Would highly recommend Ann to anyone!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Will,
Your wedding was truly wonderful with all the love your family guests showed you. It is always fun to tell a love story to guests that are so supportive. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of your wedding day. Thank you so much for asking me to be an integral part of your wedding. -

One of a Kind!
Ann is amazing! She created a personalized ceremony for my husband and I! She took the time to get to know us, gathered stories from our closest friends and family, and created a beautiful and funny love story that was unique to us. She is very easy-going, positive, and makes you feel comfortable! Would highly recommend Ann to officiate your wedding!Ann McKenzie's reply:
Olivia,
I enjoyed your wedding so much ! You and Adam were one of the happiest couples I have worked with. The dancing down the aisle by the wedding party especially the flower man was a hoot. The guests were so responsive to your love story . It was a delight! Luna of course was a hit and she behaved well. Thank you so much for asking me to officiate your wedding!’ -

Best Officiant
Ann was a delight the moment we spoke to her on a zoom call. Her personality, mannerisms, everything was so pleasant. Her take on a wedding ceremony was unique and interesting. She was always helpful and supportive when we had questions. Many of my wedding guests complimented the ceremony and stated if was a breath of fresh air. Our experience with her was great.Ann McKenzie's reply:
Keely,
You and Alec were a pleasure to work with. Your love story was fun to write. The obvious love you feel for each other was seen on your faces during the ceremony. I absolutely love the red dress and the Chinese Lunar New Year decorations at the reception and wedding. What a treat for a wedding! -
